Thigh lift is an operation performed to eliminate looseness, sagging and irregularities on the inner thighs. It is used for excess skin on the inner and outer sides of the thighs and also for deformed skin with fat deposits.

Thigh lift surgery removes the excess skin and adipose tissue from the upper and inner thighs. This surgery, usually performed on women over the age of 40, can be performed at an earlier age for patients whose skin type is prone to sagging. In some patients, the problem is loosening of the skin, while in others it is excessive fat accumulation.

How is Thigh Lift Surgery Performed?

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2 to 3 hours. The procedure begins with the surgeon determining the most appropriate incision for the patient. Excess skin is removed from the incisions and the incisions are closed. Thigh lift is an inpatient procedure and may require a hospital stay of 3-4 days. You should limit your movements until the postoperative recovery process is complete.

Thigh lift thighplasty removes sagging skin in the related area and helps prevent physical and psychological problems caused by loose skin.

After reaching the ideal weight, it provides more successful results. Thigh lift is often preferred after weight loss surgeries as well as other postoperative bariatric procedures.

The plastic surgeon makes an incision in the inguen area where excess skin and fat are removed and the surgical side is tightened. Before the surgery, there is a preliminary consultation with the patient. The patient's health condition is examined. If there is no obstacle to the operation, the day of the operation is scheduled.

Thigh lift is generally performed under general anesthesia. Prior to surgery, the anesthesiologist will determine if the patient is suitable for anesthesia. The final decision is made in consultation between the patient, the anesthesiologist and the physician.

What are the Thigh Lift Types?

There are several types that may be preferred for thigh lift aesthetics. Your plastic surgeon will decide which one is appropriate for you, depending on your needs.

Inner Thigh Lift

Inner thigh lifting surgery is preferred to remove excess skin that cannot be eliminated with exercise and diet. In this procedure, also called a medical thigh lift, the surgeon makes an incision where the thigh meets the inguinal region. The inner thigh lift is one of the simplest surgeries and does not cause major complications.

Outer Thigh Lift

The outer thigh lift is a more difficult and complex surgery than other types of thigh lift. It is performed with large incisions. Outer thigh lift is also known as lateral thigh lift.

Bilateral Thigh Lift

Bilateral thigh lift is preferred to tighten the skin on both the front and the outer side of the leg. Thanks to this aesthetic operation, both thighs and hips are shaped.
